After watching this I have to say it was far better than I had expected. As far as the films genre I would definately catagorise it as SciFi/Thriller rather than a horror. If you are expecting Day of the Dead, look elsewhere. 28 Days Later is a people movie, following the lives of 4 survivors of a rampaging epidemic which has all but wiped out the UK population. The character study throughout the movie is what drives it with the zombies/Infected taking a warranted back seat. My wife normally walks out of zombie flicks however she sat through 28 days later and at the end was pleasantly surprised by it's character driven plot.
Overall a fantastic return to form for Danny Boyle and I couldn't recommend this film highly enough. To sum up, this is not a horror or a zombie flick, it's a Character driven thriller that so happens to feature some zombies and and excellent one at that.
